This 1909-11 T206 Bob Bescher in the Portrait pose has been graded SGC 3 VG and carries a Piedmont back. The T206 "White Border" set, distributed by the American Tobacco Company, is one of the most celebrated pre-war issues in the hobby. The SGC 3 VG grade reflects moderate corner and surface wear, while the card retains solid eye appeal for a tobacco issue more than a century old. The front features lithographed artwork framed by the set's signature white border.
Bob Bescher was the speedy outfielder of the Cincinnati Reds who led the National League in stolen bases four straight seasons from 1909 to 1912. He later played for the Giants, Cardinals, and Cleveland.
